Canon PowerShot A470 7MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray)

Amazing versatility in a small, lightweight camera. Uses only 2 AA batteries; we had been accustomed to needing 4. User manual is a PDF file. You'll need to purchase a larger capacity memory card, as we found out on Thanksgiving day.

This camera was bought for me as a gift and its barely two months old and the batteries are draining brand new after one or two pics. I AM SO UPSET! Now I can't take pics for the holidays. My next camera wont be a canon for sure!

For the price, it really can't be beat. Takes great pictures and is a total steal. Nothing in its price range can compare at this point.

I previously purchased a PowerShot A640 and was so impressed with it that I purchased the A740 for my granddaughter. For the price, it's hard to beat the Canon. Many features to allow you to shoot any way you want, or just set it on Auto and point and shoot.

My six year old daughter uses this camera and so far so good! Straight forward for her and feels very sturdy in her hands. It has a nice size LCD screen. So far we've been very happy with it. As with any digital camera, the flash isn't adaquate for an extended distance.
